## Describe the problem/error/question

My workflow stops completely when one node fails. How do I make it continue? Can we setup another node to run when only an error occurs?

## What is the error message (if any)?

## Please share your workflow

```auto
(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)

```

## Share the output returned by the last node

## Information on your n8n setup

- **n8n version:**
- **Database (default: SQLite):**
- **n8n EXECUTIONS\_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):**
- **Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):**
- **Operating system:**

@Bringashr  
By default, n8n stops if a node errors out. To fix:

- Open the node settings → Enable **Continue On Fail**.

- Or add **Error Trigger Workflow** to catch the failure and branch accordingly.  
This way, the rest of the workflow continues while logging errors.
